Or it should be called the Royal City, which is equivalent to a smaller version of the Forbidden City. There are imperial roads, imperial bridges, and imperial rivers. Outside the city are the Temple of Heaven and Earth and the Altar of Sun and Moon, which are responsible for worshiping the gods of mountains and rivers in Lu on behalf of the emperor.
The royal city is a masonry wall with a circumference of more than ten miles.
Gui E came with local soldiers. After receiving the news, Lu Wang Zhu Guanyao pulled out an honor guard and bodyguards, and thousands of people climbed to the top of the city to violently resist the law.
Along the way, Gui E was already filled with anger.
In order to support the royal family of King Lu, Yanzhou Prefecture had heavy taxes and servitude, and people's livelihood had long been in ruins. The land granted to King Lu by the court alone amounted to hundreds of thousands of acres. King Lu also occupied people's land himself, and his subordinate officials also occupied people's land. It was basically
There was not much left for the people of Yanzhou to cultivate. Not only that, King Lu often built various things and recruited laborers from time to time to work for free, and the people at the bottom were pushed to the edge of rebellion.
In recent years, a large number of Yanzhou people could not bear the exploitation of King Lu, and their families fled to the coast of Denglai, waiting to be recruited overseas to survive.
There are many Shandong immigrants in Nanyang, Yinzhou, and even Tianzhu!
Still dare to resist arrest?
Gui E personally came to the city and shouted: "His Royal Highness, King Lu, are you planning to rebel?"
Zhu Guanyao shouted: "Governor Gui, you are the one who wants to rebel. What are you doing with bringing so many troops to Prince Lu's Mansion? Even if I have violated the law, it is time for Shandong Yinchasu to come forward. What authority does Shandong Bingbei Dao have to enter with such an army?"
"
Gui E sneered: "Someone has accused King Lu of treason. It is such a big deal, so you should be prepared for it. Now it seems that His Highness is really planning to rebel! Come, find the stairs and attack the city immediately! Your Highness King Lu, if you
If you dare to order an officer and soldier to be shot, you are committing an act of rebellion."
"If you dare to attack the royal city, you are committing rebellion!" Zhu Guanyao was furious.
Gui E said: "I have been ordered by the emperor to inspect the land property of the Shandong feudal lord. I can act expeditiously according to the edict."
There are no cloud ladders, only ordinary wooden ladders tied up and set up on the city wall.
Gui E personally picked up the sword, was the first to climb the ladder, and then led the troops to rush to the city. The defenders of the city tower were dumbfounded. They really didn't dare to take action. Once the Shandong governor was killed, regardless of the fate of the soldiers, the officers would be held accountable collectively.
, and it is a serious crime of treason!
As soon as Gui E had climbed halfway up, Zhu Guanyao took action himself and subdued Gui E from a high position.
"Tie him up and take him to the prosecutor's office for questioning!" Zhu Guanyao shouted.
"A certain person is the governor, and the Shandong Chasi has no authority to deal with it," Gui E sneered, regardless of being captured, he shouted towards the city, "The entire army attacks the city!"
Shandong soldiers were preparing to attack Peng Qing, so they could only grit their teeth and take the lead in attacking the city.
More and more officers and soldiers climbed up the city tower, and the palace soldiers retreated continuously. The two sides held weapons and faced each other at a distance on the city tower. No one dared to kill anyone, for fear of being accused of treason. The situation became extremely absurd for a while.
Gui E sarcastically said: "His Royal Highness King Lu, if you can, kill me. I am a scholar, and it is very cost-effective to exchange my life with the prince. If Your Highness does not dare to exchange my life, then let me go quickly!"
Zhu Guanyao was stunned on the spot and was at a loss. He was not killing people, nor was he letting people go.
Zhu Guanyao called an official of the eighth rank and a minor official of the ninth rank in front of him and asked in a low voice: "What should I do?"
The eighth-rank junior official is called Qin Xin, who serves as the official meal keeper for the Prince of Lu's palace.
A junior official from the ninth rank was named Zhang Rong, and he served as a receptionist for Prince Lu's palace.
The former collected fine wines and delicacies for Zhu Guanyao, and the latter collected handsome men and beauties for Zhu Guanyao. The two worked together to build Prince Lu's palace into a wine pond and meat forest. As a result, they were appreciated by King Lu, and their power even surpassed that of the chief official of the palace (the fifth grade).
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power, bullies men and dominates women, seizes people's property, and harms innocent people, which has caused public resentment in Yanzhou.
Zhang Rong said with a ferocious expression: "I killed him, bribed the guarding eunuch, and put the blame on Bing Bei Dao."
"You can't kill him," Qin Xin hurriedly dissuaded him. "Gui E is a confidant of the powerful minister Wang Yuan. Zhang En, the eunuch guarding Shandong Province, dare not collect money. Gui E can die, but not here, otherwise we will all be guilty of treason!"
"
Zhu Guanyao asked: "I asked you to send warriors to pretend to be bandits, but why haven't you done anything yet?"
Qin Xin smiled bitterly: "Gui E has always been surrounded by officers and soldiers. How dare the bandits attack the officers and soldiers and kill the governor?"
Zhang Rong said: "It is better to detain Gui E, then go to the court, and say that the governor of Shandong intended to rebel, led troops to attack the Prince of Lu's Mansion and was subdued. In this way, not only will we have no fault, but we will have merit in quelling the rebellion."
Qin Xin said depressedly: "Are you stupid? Gui E was sent by Wang Yuan. Even if Gui E really rebelled, Wang Yuan would not admit it. That was Lu Buwei at that time, and there was Zhao Ji behind him, maybe the emperor
They are all his biological sons."
Zhang Rong asked: "How is Qing Jun doing?"
"You idiot, don't try to harm me!" Zhu Guanyao was furious.
Even if Yanzhou is full of fish and meat, even if it is a meat forest and a wine pond, King Lu is not in danger of his life. If he shouts the slogan "Qingjun's side", he will have to be escorted to the high wall of Fengyang.
Zhu Guanyao was not a capital offender, but Qin Xin and Zhang Rong were certain to die. The two of them were extremely panicked.
Zhu Guanyao suddenly retreated, his IQ increased exponentially, and shouted to his guards: "Get these two people!"
"Why is the prince like this?" Qin Xin and Zhang Rong were horrified.
After the two men were captured by the guards, Zhu Guanyao went over and whispered: "If you plead guilty, I will protect your wives, children, and children."
Qin Xin and Zhang Rong looked ashen and could not say a word.
After doing this, Zhu Guanyao asked the guards to tie him up and tied himself in front of Gui E and said: "Let go of the governor quickly! Gui Futai, Xiao Wang was deceived by Xiao Xiao and almost made a big mistake. Please Futai punish the evildoers severely!"
Gui E sneered and asked, "Qin Xin, where is Zhang Rong?"
Zhu Guanyao said: "Those two are the ones who were tied up."
Gui E walked up to the two of them and said, "You are so famous. The evil you did in Yanzhou has even been heard by me in Jining."
Qin Xin and Zhang Rong were silent.
Historically, no official dared to punish these guys for their misdeeds in Yanzhou, and the fact that they overturned in the end was even more ridiculous.
The king of Lu, Zhu Guanyao, actually started fighting with his fourth uncle, the king of Guantao, Zhu Dangchun. The cause of the conflict is not known to be jealousy, or some kind of competition for land and money.
Anyway, dog bites dog on both sides. Zhu Guanyao took the lead in reporting his fourth uncle, enumerating Zhu Dangchuan's series of heinous crimes. Zhu Dangchuan retorted and exposed Zhu Guanyao's bad things.
As a result, their close officials were sentenced to death, Zhu Guanyao had his salary reduced by two-thirds, and Zhu Dangchun had his salary reduced by one-third.
Gui E glanced at Zhu Guanyao, ordered the palace honor guard and bodyguards to put down their weapons, led troops to blockade the entire Prince Lu's Palace, and placed Prince Lu under house arrest to search for criminal evidence.
By the second night, Gui E cursed angrily: "Isn't that bastard Zhang Huai here yet?"
Zhang Huai is the inspector general of Shandong. Even if King Lu is guilty, Zhang Huai can only send someone to try the case. As the governor, Gui E has no right to bypass the local inspector general and directly hear the cases related to the vassal king.
Moreover, the Shandong Procuratorate can only conduct a preliminary review and must report it to the court for review.
…
Jinan Prefecture.
Zhang Huai, the inspector-general of Shandong Province, was holding a literary gathering to gather scholars from the provincial capital to appreciate the autumn and compose poems. He especially liked peonies and wrote dozens of poems about peonies, which he named "Hundred Odes of Peonies".
X》.
When he was transferred to Shandong Province last year, Zhang Huai discovered that there were not many peonies in Jinan, so he paid people to transplant them from other places.
Of course, you can't enjoy peonies in autumn, so Zhang Huai took his scholars to enjoy chrysanthemums.
Just in the middle of the cultural meeting, the master suddenly ran over in a hurry: "In Taitai, Governor Gui asked you to go to Yanzhou immediately to handle the case. He is probably going to take action against King Lu!"
Zhang Huai, however, remained calm and said with a smile: "Just prepare yourself. Today's literary meeting must have a beginning and an end. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."
"How can we wait until we get to Taiwan? If we go too late, we will be demoted or exiled at the worst!" the master said anxiously.
Zhang Huai smiled and said: "Mr. Hu, please stop being dangerous and sensational. What does King Nalu's offense have to do with me? I have already reported it to the court, and I have fulfilled my duties. It's just that there has been no movement from the imperial court."
The master said with a tired heart: "Zhentai is not a censor, he is just a whistleblower. How can he say that he has fulfilled his duties? King Lu's matter is too big, and Zhentai will be implicated. Now we can only try our best to make amends and go to Yanzhou to cooperate with the governor.
Investigate the case, if you arrive late, it will not be as simple as being implicated!"
Zhang Huai was annoyed by being surrounded, so he waved his hand and said, "That's all, that's all. Just prepare your carriage and boat, and call your subordinates and subordinates. I'll set off as soon as the conference is over."
Master really wants to strangle this stupid officer to death on the spot!
The vassal king used to be under the control of the clan, but soon the Six Ministries seized power. The local three divisions also had the right to supervise the vassal king.
For example, the Ministry of Industry is sometimes responsible for the construction of the palace, but the renovation, repair, expansion, etc. are basically funded by the three local bureaus. The annual salary allocated to the feudal prince is also handled by the local Chief Secretary, and it is impossible for the central government to distribute food.
.
If an official of the vassal king commits a crime, the local police chief can directly arrest the person. If he turns a blind eye to numerous crimes, then the police chief is likely to be held accountable!
Gui E led troops to surround the Prince of Lu's palace, but Zhang Huai, the Shandong envoy, was still in the mood to convene a literary meeting and write poems and lyrics.
Zhang Huai was very young. He was a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Zhengde. Because he had a good relationship with Yang Shen, he even regarded himself as Yang Shen's disciple. Therefore, this guy was constantly promoted by Yang Shen's party, and he made outstanding achievements when he was a school inspector in Zhejiang, and he was an official for fourteen years.
He climbed to the position of Inspector-General in 2001. You know, this is the Inspector-General of Shandong, and he is also in charge of the entire Liaodong!
This guy has a very good official reputation. He has been promoting education all the way, constantly building social studies, encouraging academies, supporting lectures, and subsidizing poor scholars...including many disciples of Xinxue, all of whom have been supported and funded by Zhang Huai. Wang Yangming also praised this person.
An act of righteousness.
Zhang Huai is not afraid at all. Wang Yuan’s teachers all praise me. Will Wang Yuan’s lackeys touch me?
To be honest, a person like Zhang Huai should be allowed to work in education for the rest of his life!
Zhang Huai walked for three days from Jinan to Yanzhou. The two deputy inspectors who accompanied him wanted to carry him directly on their way.
The governor of Shandong is driven crazy. How dare the inspector general of Shandong go out for a walk?
If it were an ordinary governor, the three local divisions would naturally be able to do this. Whether they could cooperate or not would all depend on how proud the governor was. But that was Gui E, a confidant of Wang Yuan who was specially sent to rectify the local clan!
